Additional Safety Instructions for Jointers
Like all machines there is danger associated
with this machine. Accidents are frequently
caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay
attention. Use this machine with respect
and caution to lessen the possibility of
operator injury. If normal safety precautions
are overlooked or ignored, serious personal
injury may occur.
1. JOINTER KICKBACK. "Kickback" is when
the workpiece is thrown off the jointer table
by the force of the cutterhead. Always use
push blocks and safety glasses to reduce
the likelihood of injury from “kickback.” If you
do not understand what kickback is, or how
it occurs, DO NOT operate this machine.
2. CUTTERHEAD ALIGNMENT. Keep the top
edge of the outfeed table aligned with the
cutterhead knife or insert at top dead center
(TDC) to avoid kickback and personal inju-
ries.
3. PUSH BLOCKS. Always use push blocks
whenever surface planing. Never pass your
hands directly over the cutterhead without a
push block.
4. WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Supporting the
workpiece adequately at all times while
cutting is crucial for making safe cuts and
avoiding injury. Never attempt to make a cut
with an unstable workpiece.
5. KICKBACK ZONE. The "kickback zone"
is the path directly through the end of the
infeed table. Never stand or allow others to
stand in this area during operation.
6. SAFE KNIFE PROJECTION. Knives that
project more than 0.125" from the cutterhead
may become loose or damaged during oper-
ation. Always make sure knives are properly
set and well tightened in the cutterhead.
7. MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. The maxi-
mum cutting depth for one pass is 1⁄8".
To minimize kickback, never attempt any
single cut deeper than this!
8. JOINTING WITH THE GRAIN. Jointing
against the grain or jointing end grain is
dangerous and could produce chatter or
excessive chip out. Always joint with the
grain.
9. KEEPING GUARDS IN PLACE. With the
exception of rabbeting, all operations must
be performed with the cutterhead guard in
place. After rabbeting, be sure to replace
the guard, to reduce the risk of serious
injury.
10. PROPER CUTTING. When cutting, always
keep the workpiece moving toward the
outfeed table until the workpiece has passed
completely over the cutterhead. Never back
the work toward the infeed table, to reduce
the risk of kickback.
11. USING GOOD STOCK. Jointing safety
begins with your lumber. Inspect your
stock carefully before you feed it over the
cutterhead. Never joint a board that has
loose knots, nails, or staples. If you have
any doubts about the stability or structural
integrity of your stock, DO NOT joint it!
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
G0656 8" Jointer with Built-In Mobile Base -9-
220V Operation
Full Load Amperage Draw
Motor Draw at 220V .............................. 15 Amps
Minimum Circuit Requirements
You MUST connect your machine to a grounded
circuit that is rated for the amperage given below.
Never replace a circuit breaker on an existing cir-
cuit with one of higher amperage without consult-
ing a qualified electrician to ensure compliance
with wiring codes. If you are unsure about the
wiring codes in your area or you plan to con-
nect your machine to a shared circuit, consult
a qualified electrician.
Minimum Circuit Size .............................20 Amps
Extension Cords
Using extension cords may reduce the life of the
motor. Instead, place the machine near a power
source. If you must use an extension cord:
• Use at least a 12 gauge cord that does not
exceed 50 feet in length!
• The extension cord must also have a ground
wire and plug pin.
• A qualified electrician MUST size cords over
50 feet long to prevent motor damage.
Figure 2. NEMA L6-20 plug and receptacle.
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect the machine to power before com-
pleting the setup process. DO NOT connect
the machine to the power until instructed
later in this manual.
Electrocution or fire could
result if machine is not
grounded and installed in
compliance with electrical
codes. Compliance MUST
be verified by a qualified
electrician!
Power Connection Device
The type of plug required to connect your machine
to power depends on the type of service you cur-
rently have or plan to install. We recommend
using the plug shown in Figure 2.
-10- G0656 8" Jointer with Built-In Mobile Base
Wear safety glasses dur-
ing the entire setup pro-
cess!
This machine presents
serious injury hazards
to untrained users. Read
through this entire manu-
al to become familiar with
the controls and opera-
tions before starting the
machine!

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight
and footprint specifications of your machine.
Some residential floors may require additional
reinforcement to support both the machine and
operator.
Placement Location
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a location for
your new machine. See Figure 6 for the minimum
working clearances.
Children and visitors may be
seriously injured if unsuper-
vised around this machine.
Lock entrances to the shop
or disable start switch or
power connection to prevent
unsupervised use.
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to prevent corrosion during shipment. Remove
this protective coating with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895
Citrus Degreaser. To clean thoroughly, some parts
must be removed. For optimum performance
from your machine, clean all moving parts or
sliding contact surfaces. Avoid chlorine-based
solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner
that may damage painted surfaces. Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using any
type of cleaning product.
To access the sliding surfaces, remove the lock
nut (Figure 5) and flat washer securing the fence
lock handle, and remove the fence from the jointer
unit.

Assembly
To assemble the jointer:
1. Carefully lay the stand on its side so you can
access the underside.
2. Bolt the wheel assembly to the stand with the
provided hardware, as shown in Figure 7.
Note: Refer to the Inventory List on Page
11 for a list of components needed for ass-
sembly.
Figure 7. Example of bolting the wheel assembly
to the stand.
3. Turn the stand rightside up.
5. With the help of an assistant, lift the jointer
onto the stand.
6. Align the mounting holes on the jointer and
stand.
7. Secure the jointer to the stand with the M8-
1.25 x 50 cap screws, washers, and hex nuts,
as shown in Figure 8.
The jointer is heavy. Seek
assistance when lifting it
onto the jointer stand.

10. Slide the motor down to rest on the V-belt.
11. Place a straightedge against both pulleys
(Figure 10) and check the alignment of
the two pulleys to make sure that they are
aligned and that the V-belt is straight up and
down (see Figure 11).
— If the pulleys are aligned, tighten the motor
bracket fasteners and go to Step 15.
— If the pulleys are NOT aligned, perform
Steps 12–14.
12. Remove the V-belt and loosen the motor
mount fasteners (see Figure 9).

24. Thread the excess switch cord through the
access hole in the stand and connect it to the
motor cord.
22. Test the guard by pulling it back and letting it
go.
—The guard should snap back over the
cutterhead without dragging across the
table.
—If the guard drags across the table, loosen
the set screw, raise the guard until it won't
drag, then tighten the set screw.
—If the guard does not snap back, remove it
and repeat Steps 18–21.
23. Attach the pedestal switch with the cap
screws, lock washers, and flat washers, as
shown in Figure 15.
Figure 14. Example of installing cutterhead
guard set screw.
20. Raise the fence and rotate the guard one
revolution counter-clockwise as it appears
from the top. Hold the guard in position.
21. Lower the fence and allow the guard to swing
back against the fence.
NOTICE
The cutterhead guard must always return to
the closed position whenever it is moved.
19. Using a 2.5mm hex wrench, thread the set
screw through the hole in the forked end of
the cutterhead guard shaft (Figure 14).
Note: Thread the set screw far enough to
prevent the guard from being pulled out.
26. Replace the rear access panel on the stand.
